Change your Android mtk devices to use glo subscription


REQUIREMENTS For changing/Fixing the IMEI number on your MTK android :
1.  A Rooted Android (MTK 6577 / 6575)

2.  A valid IMEI number

3.  The  Mobile Uncle MTK  tools from PlayStore






N.B
Note that when you use IMEI number of your old unused mobile phone, be sure to never insert a SIM of same network again.
i.e >> If you use a Glo sim on a Blackberry (or any other phone), after you copied and use the Blackerry's IMEI into your Android, your Glo will work fine on your Android. But be sure not to insert that same Glo SIM into the Blackberry again, If you do and switch it on, the sim will not register to the network.

After getting the above ready, follow the Procedures below:

1. Dial *#06#, write down your Default IMEI, or Simply Back it up on ur SDcard >> See this Post on How to Backup IMEI on Android.

2. Run the MobileUncle tools App
    Go to backup  and restore imei
     Run a backup


3. Go to >> Engineer Mode >> Engineer Mode (MTK)




4. Scroll down to CDS Information

5. CLICK >> Radio Information

You'll see something like:
Phone1 -
Phone2 -

In that select Phone2, because in most of these Chinese cloned phone, the 1st Sim which is a 3G will work perfectly. Problem only happens when we insert the second sim. Such cases are experienced if after you check, you can see the IMEI of 1st sim starting with 35xxxxx and the 2nd will start with 88xxxxxxxx. That is why the second sim is not able to register to the network, because its not in international formatted IMEI. So usually we need to change the IMEI of Phone 2.

When you select any of  Phone1 or Phone2 - you'll find AT+ __________
Inside there input your new IMEI number,
Press the space button then delete button you will see ‘AT+EGMR=1,7, “IMEI_NUMBER” input the imei number between those quotation mark..  Check this site to see already generated bb imei
click >> SEND AT COMMAND
That's all!





EXTRA TIP UPDATED:
Some devices are different and may want to prove stubborn, so here's an extra tip just in case the steps above didn't work for you.
TO CHANGE IMEI FOR  SIM1 OR DEVICES WITH ONE-SIM ONLY:
Type the following command then Press Enter or click SEND AT COMMAND
echo ‘AT+EGMR=1,7, “IMEI_NUMBER” ‘ >/dev/
pttycmd1

TO CHANGE IMEI FOR SIM2 (DUAL SIM):
If your phone is dual-sim, type this
command:  echo ‘AT+EGMR=1,10,
“IMEI_NUMBER” ‘ >/dev/pttycmd1
Press ENTER or SEND AT COMMAND

Yes we are done… now you can restart the phone and check the IMEI. See if it worked by dialing *#06#

EXTRA TIP: FOR THOSE USING GLO NG
You can get 3gb and use it to browse after you change it to IMEI of a Blackberry phone.
Active a Glo BIS Plan.
Comonth to 777 (3GB) for 1,000Naira

and you are good to go. Enjoy the Speed!
